We have created this interactive weblog to help create a better understanding of your holiday destination, to give an insight into its rich history and culture and to let you know what is acceptable in Gambian society and what is not.
Please spare a few minutes to explore our information portal– especially if this is your first visit. You will find important information along with some interesting stories based on facts and history, and some which stem from legend and personal beliefs … peoples opinions may differ.
Most importantly please remember although the official language in The Gambia is English this does not mean everyone speaks it fluently. As you read on you will learn there are several different tribes, each with their own language. Many children have very little schooling and even less interaction with visitors please be patient with the local people as they won’t all have a good understanding. Speak slowly if someone is having difficulty understanding you. Many people have a habit of saying “YES” when they don’t understand – this is a way of avoiding embarrassment in their culture.
